Years ago I bookmarked it- but soon afterwards it was plagued with technical problems and I delisted it.
Now it appears to have ironed them out- but the layout isn't as good as it was back then. Also, there are plenty of trackers to block.
The bottom line:
----------------------
The site appears to be good again- but not great.

An interesting blog-style website on all things science fiction. Some adult content, but clearly marked.

Great science fiction website!

A good site if you like keeping up with sci-fi, fantasy, and science news and aren't too picky about 100% accuracy. The site does post warnings in article blurbs if the said article contains extreme gore/violence, sex, nudity, or possibly triggering content. However, the discussions/comments should be read with caution. There are some extremely unpleasant users and users who post NSFW content even if the article itself is SFW.

Science and entertainment news website.

Microsoft's IE blog reports that this site is loaded with excessive and questionable Flash Player content that is known to cause browser slowdown and crashes. Users report this happens on Firefox as well. (Please see the third comment in the link below from IE's blog report.)
WOT Trustworthiness gets a "Suspicious" rating from me. Not enough known in my view to assign a "Child Safety" rating. Here is the report from IE's blog team, you may have to scroll down a bit to read the information:
